10x12 outbuilding for boiler and water storage

[headrc]

In everyones opinion here ...would a 10x12 outbuilding been enough space for a boiler like an Eko etc. plus a water storage tank? Thx again, RH

How much storage?

 

[headrc]

Well for my application (2100 sq ft in Tennessee) I have been informed that 500 gallons would be optimum and I would not need more than that. Of course any other opinions would be welcome .....if I do put this system in I do not want to make any mistakes with my decisions. Thx, RH

 

[wdc1160]

Storage size choice has too many considerations (of which many are discussed in forum) to go into in this thread. But, 500 gallons takes up 64 cubic feet. 8X4X2. Are u going to use the shed for anything else??

 

[headrc]

No this shed would just be for the boiler and its storage tank ...and probably a hot water heater as well. RH

 

[wdc1160]

well in that case you need a smaller shed.

Another thing to think of ,is storing some wood inside. Maybe more conveint to fire boiler.

Back up the bus!! Are you tellin' me people in TN have to HEAT their house??? :wow:

I would think solar would probably work there . . . I'd concentrate more on how to cool the place then worry about a few 'chilly' nights.

Who said it was for heating a house ? The pool water might be a little chilly in the winter.
